Chapter 534 Tracing the Reason
Teco's radio operator adjusted the radio to ground wave communication and called the Shanghai Central Bureau again. This time the other party quickly responded. The two parties finally established contact and communicated immediately.

Ten minutes later, the howling of a police car could be heard faintly from a distance. The chief pulled out his pistol and stood in front of the dormer window, gently lifted the quilt covering it, and looked out vigilantly.

Several forces in Shanghai are fighting each other, but they have one thing in common, that is, they hate the underground party. Once the signal of the short-wave radio station is detected, they will definitely pursue it desperately.

"All right."

The radio operator suddenly said something in a low voice, stretched out his hand to turn off the power, then lowered his head to decipher the secret message. The information is only safe if it is recorded in the mind, and it is easy for the enemy to find out if it is recorded on paper.

She compared the code book and quickly converted the codes into Chinese characters one by one. After deciphering all of them, she checked them again, and then lit the bottom file of the messages and put them in the brazier on the table.

"Chief, the call back from the Central Bureau of Shanghai. Those two comrades returned from Red Russia not long ago. They are not familiar with the situation of the enemy and ourselves in Shanghai. They think that our early warning signals are not reliable.

Therefore, they did not transfer according to the order, and insisted on staying in the urban area to organize the student movement, and decided to wait for their own early warning channels to reply. People from the Central Bureau have sent personnel to verify the situation. "

The radio operator was a little angry. As an old underground worker, she hated this kind of unorganized and undisciplined behavior. What is unreliable? Do you have to wait for the enemy to call.

For lurking tasks behind enemy lines, intelligence work plays a vital role. If everyone engages in small cliques, small hills, blame each other, and mistrust each other, the party's secret intelligence activities will be in danger.

"what?"

The chief was also very surprised. He never thought that this was the reason why the people were arrested. The most precious quality of underground party members is to obey orders. Those two comrades should understand this truth.

After thinking for a moment, he said with a serious face: "Notify the Central Bureau and suggest that they investigate themselves. The purpose of the spies is very clear, which proves that the other party knows the true identity of the arrested person.

Whether someone leaked information, or was infiltrated by the enemy, this issue must be investigated first, otherwise there will be a second time after the first time, and the purity of the organization must be guaranteed.

In addition, it is also necessary to figure out why the early warning channel did not work. It is not normal for the intelligence network that has spent so much energy and money to build up to have no response twice in a row.

After the communication ended, the contact with them was temporarily suspended, and the important personnel of Teke immediately transferred, reported the situation here to the southwest, waited for the order of the superior, and entered the dormant state immediately. "

"Yes."

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, the radio operator sent out the telegram according to the order. After confirming that the Shanghai Central Bureau had received it, the two cleaned up the house, and finally left Gaolang Bridge separately.

At the same time, the news of the arrest of important members of the underground party has spread in some circles. Yu Hua, the chief judge of the First Criminal Tribunal, also got relevant information from an old friend in the patrol room.

"This has nothing to do with our SAR courts. You said that people were arrested from the urban area. We don't need our approval. The underground party is lawless. It really should be taken care of. Okay, see you later."

He finished speaking pretending to be relaxed, put the microphone back, his face was very ugly, he clearly went to the policeman, why was someone still arrested, did something happen to the policeman?
Getting up and walking around in the living room, Yu Hua suddenly stopped and looked at the door, his eyes showed hesitation, but his eyes soon became firm, he walked quickly to the hanger, put on his coat and went out.

In this chaotic era, everyone is willing to contribute to the country and the nation, including intellectuals who are helpless. Everyone who has dignity and faith is a hero.

Whether he is a hero or not, Yu Hua doesn't know, but he can be entrusted by others and be loyal to others. Since he has agreed to the underground party, he can't do things halfway.

Walking in the howling wind, he wrapped his clothes around his body, retracted his head into the collar, and walked against the flow of people on the crowded road. This was the only anti-tracking method he could think of.

After passing through four or five streets and confirming that there was no abnormal situation behind him, Yu Hua pushed open the door of a bar. As soon as he entered, a wave of heat rushed towards him, and his ears were filled with noise.

He squeezed sideways to the bar, threw a banknote to the bartender, grabbed the phone, and leaned on the bar to observe the crowd after making a call, until the call was connected.

"Hey, it's me."

"Come out for a drink or two."

"Okay, old place."

After Yu Hua said a few words, he hung up the phone. The police and intelligence agencies have been monitoring the phone. This is a well-known fact. Even using code words is not safe. It is better to talk in person.

He ordered a glass of beer, found a dark corner, sipped while thinking, occasionally raised his head to look in the direction of the entrance, and within half an hour, a young man came and sat down.

"President Yu, is something wrong?"

The young man asked in a low voice, looked left and right after speaking, and moved the chair to the wall calmly, so that he faced the crowd and the aisle, making sure not to leave too many blind spots for observation.

If the llama was present, he would have discovered that this person was the judicial policeman who had gone to Yu Hua's house in the morning to find someone. The other party had lured away the secret agents from the Secret Service Headquarters, creating enough warning time.

"Two people have been arrested." Yu Hua raised his wine glass to cover his mouth: "I heard that they are from the propaganda department of the Central Bureau. They are male and have a high status. The cover identity is a school teacher. Do you recognize them?"

The young man glanced at him and closed his mouth tightly. If the other party was instigated by the enemy, any response would bring unpredictable risks to the organization, so silence is the best answer.

"After the secret agent followed you out of the courthouse in the morning, I went to the policeman's house at the address you gave me. No one was at home, so I entered the house with the spare key and put the information in the secret compartment.

During this period, no one followed me, and the alarm point was normal. You will know what happened next. Could it be that there is something wrong with the alarmist, otherwise the corresponding personnel should be temporarily transferred. "

Yu Hua explained seriously that he didn't want the other party to think that it was his fault that caused the arrest of the two people. They have cooperated for a long time and such a thing has never happened.

The young man nodded and said seriously: "President Yu, we have absolute trust in you. I will report this matter to my superiors. You should go back to your residence first. I will contact you as soon as I have any news."

"Okay, my wife and children are going to grandma's house, you can come over anytime." Yu Hua drank the beer in one gulp, got up and was about to leave, before leaving, he hesitated and said, "Be careful."

"Thank you, it's okay."

The young man showed a bright smile, stood up and merged into the crowd, and quietly blended into the night after coming out of the back door of the bar. Time was running short, and the matter must be reported to the SAR court as soon as possible.

What he said just now was not to comfort Yu Hua, this pure patriot is trustworthy, the problem is likely to be their own, the most suspect is the alarm.

The young man didn't know much about this person. He only knew that he was called Lao Gong, who had worked in the Northeast, and came to Shanghai for medical treatment because of an injury, so the organizational relationship was transferred to the Shanghai Central Bureau.

In the previous missions, Lao Gong's performance could not be said to be very good, but he was basically qualified, but the speed of delivering the early warning information was a bit slow, and the organization had criticized it many times, but the other party turned a deaf ear.

Considering this person's contribution, the superiors focused on education and did not transfer him from his current post. Could it be that this guy did not send the warning information away, which caused such a big loss?
It was necessary to clarify this matter before reporting. The young man quickened his pace and walked towards the alarm point. It didn't take long for him to reach the corner of the street not far from the destination, silently observing the situation.

It turned out that everything was normal, there were no suspicious persons in the vicinity, and the curtains of the window of Lao Gong's residence were drawn, which represented safety. Yu Hua was right, the alarm point was indeed all right.

The young man waited for a few minutes, walked to the door from the darkness, raised his hand and knocked on the door, but there was no response, so he knocked hard again, finally a tired voice sounded from inside.

"Who?"

"Me, cousin."

"I'm coming."

The people in the house seemed to be a little panicked. They knocked over many things along the way, and the bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang on the night, the sound of hurried footsteps is getting closer and closer.

"Crunch, come in."

A bearded man opened the door and beckoned. The young man frowned and observed through the crack of the door. Seeing that the bearded old Gong had a normal face, he walked in.

"Why did you come here? Is there an early warning message? Give me the information and I will report it immediately. If you want me to tell you, you should install a phone to prevent you from reporting in the middle of the night. This is too dangerous."

Lao Gong stretched out his head to look at the street and closed the door, muttering. He sounded positive about his work and offered suggestions for improvement, but he smelled strongly of alcohol.

The young man didn't listen to the nonsense, walked to the secret compartment in three steps and pulled it open. A note was lying there quietly. Seeing this scene, his head exploded.

No wonder the superior didn't receive the warning. It turned out that this bastard didn't pass it up. The young man turned around and grabbed Lao Gong by the collar, and asked angrily, "This is the task you completed!"

"what?"

Lao Gong's expression was baffled, but when he saw the note in the dark compartment, his face instantly turned pale. Too bad, he was too busy drinking and forgot to check the dark compartment. How could such a coincidence happen.

He only went out for less than 10 minutes. Who knew that the information would be sent at this time, and it seemed that it was still important information. Now I can't hide the things he did in the Northeast.

In the early years, he was sent by the organization to the Northeast to join the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army. During the battle, he betrayed other team members in order to save his life. If his superiors knew about this, the only thing waiting for him was death.
